Inside Amy Schumer Returns to a Changed Television Landscape

The world looks a bit different than when Inside Amy Schumer last aired on Comedy Central six years ago. Two historic elections, the #MeToo movement, corporate mergers, and streaming’s total domination have forever altered the political and cultural landscape, but these events have left Amy Schumer with plenty of material for the long-awaited fifth season of her sketch comedy. Two episodes of Inside Amy Schumer Season 5 drop today on Paramount+.
